Outdoor lighTing

[m4tty]

Hi,

Doing a job ATM that requires

1) a security light at bottom of patio. (dist 15m from board)

2) 2 lights on back of house

3) a pond light/pump (low power draw)

All to be switched from triple switch under stairs next to cu.

The plan was to run 1.5mm t&e from 6a mcb to triple switch. Line into one switch then links to other switches. In trunking then through wall into adaptable box with 3 separate cables. Then from adaptable box with 3 separate 1.5mm swa's. One to security light. One to pond feature with resin joint underground, and other to another adaptable box further down wall so I can change to outdoor flex to 2 separate lights on back of house high level.

Is this an ok way to do this or can anyone suggest a better way as I'm still learning so any advice greatfully received.

Especially what types of adaptable box people prefer

Thanks

sounds ok may look better/ less cost easier with hituff/Fp/Fs type for the clipped on to brickwork lights but deffo swa for the ground run

if doing 3 runs swa to Ad box why not multicore it so only 1 run? then split off in desired cable types

as above - multicore with common neutral. save a few cable runs

All will be rcd'd mate as I'm putting in new board. The actual layout would make it difficult to use multicore swa but I like the idea. Thanks
